We are really excited to introduce another glove to the West Coast family.  This glove was our contest Winning Design, by Daniel Young from Seattle Washington.  The Aqua Max is part of the Spyder MAX Glove line, so it will have the wider fingers and expanded gripping area of our very popular trademarked MAX line.  However the brand new AQUA LATEX will bring another brand new element to this glove.  

We think every goalkeepers dream is to create their own glove & New England Revolution GK Luis Soffner is no different.  Having worked with West Coast to design this glove makes Big Lou who stands at 6'5" one of only 3 Goalkeepers in the MLS to have their own glove!  Soffner was very specific on the mesh, the backhand colors and design, and most importantly the latex.

Washing Gloves Dramatically increases the life of gloves, it removes chemicals left in the gloves during the manufacturing process, it removes dirt and grime from playing, restores grip back to the glove, gets rid of smells and is a great time for a keeper to examine their gloves and take ownership of their most important piece of equipment! 

Seattle Reign Goalkeeper and West Coast Pro-Team Goalkeeper Haley Kopmeyer is spending this season in Southern California working with former LA Galaxy Goalkeeper turned trainer Steve Gonzalez.  His YouTube Channel will provide a lot of videos for improving your game, you can find it here: STEVE GONZALEZ GK YOUTUBE

We are happy to launch a Limited Edition Pink Spyder-PRO.  Proceeds from this glove will be donated to 3 Breast Cancer Charities

Many people ask What is Contact Foam?  Contact Foam is a Super Sticky Palm Material that has a plastic covering over it to prevent it from getting any foreign objects on it during the manufacturing process.  Our Contact Foam is called "Complete Contact" is has a great feel to it and is stickier at first. 

We often get asked if we have reviews of our gloves- we thought we would take this time to share a couple reviews that were written about our Spyder-MAX series.  The Spyder-MAX like all our gloves is a Professional Match glove, it is design to be a wide glove, to put more of your hand on the Soccer Ball.

A Negative Cut Goalkeeper Glove is one that has the stitching on the inside, similar to a driving glove.  Made popular in Germany then spreading to the UK, it is the glove that over half of the top line Goalkeepers in the World use today.  The reason for that is simple, it is a precise glove that allows for a more complete grip and feel of the ball.

We wanted to make sure we had the rains of England and Scotland, the mud of Ireland, the Turf so many in the US play on, and the arid conditions we see so many keepers playing on represented.  With that we are glad to announce our newest Pro-Team member, Jordan Jennings.

Ever wonder why that Water Bottle is in the net in EPL or MLS games? Its not just for a thirsty keeper!  In order to have the best grip with most Latex's - especially Giga Grip, you must keep the palms damp.  Spit works ok, but on very dry days, you need water on your gloves before you start training or warming up and every 15-30 minutes after.

We have been hard at work designing and making the new Spyder gloves for you!  The new Spyders will be broken down into two families of gloves, the SPYDER-MAX which you see now in Orange and Green and soon the SPYDER PRO!  The Spyder Pro will have a Roll Finger and Negative version those are currently being tested by our Pro-Teams right now and will be ready for launch soon!
